Ephesians 5:22-24 Wrote:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Submission to Christ is not voluntary for his followers, nor is recognition of his headship of the Church. The use of the word "voluntary" is an attempt to soften the message and make it seem less offensive. It's not easy to peddle this kind of directive in societies that are trying to improve the way women are perceived and treated, so they look for ways to make it sound more palatable.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yes, basically, a congressman, in his memoirs, said that a wife has to voluntarily submit to her husband because that's Gods' orders.
I don't suppose I even need to mention which party this guy is from; the answer should be kinda obvious since only one party has been saying insanely misogynistic things over the past few years. Sometimes I think great I'm going to be single for ever. Then I read articles like this and realize that if a moron like this can find a wife, I'll do just fine.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Are you really going to promote gender roles? Before you do I would suggest perhaps you read up on people like Margaret Thacher. People are just people.

No people are not "just people". We all have different strengths abilities and the way we think and process information.
Yeah she did a lot of bad and "good" things. I don't know much about her. But as I have said before, if there is a exception to the rule that is normal, but in general there are gender roles.

That would be both male and female. And I'm not talking about biological sex. I am neither a man nor a woman.

In what sense then? A mental sense? Or no biologically male or female organs?

Yes there are. And they are stupid and limiting. The strengths and weaknesses that people have, have very little to do with their gender.

In a gender sense. So sure, mental.
